[php]
<?php
Mage::helper(‘core/http’)->getRemoteAddr($ipToLong = false);
Mage::helper(‘core/http’)->getServerAddr($ipToLong = false);
Mage::helper(‘core/http’)->getHttpHost($clean = true);
Mage::helper(‘core/http’)->getHttpUserAgent($clean = true);
Mage::helper(‘core/http’)->getHttpAcceptLanguage($clean = true);
Mage::helper(‘core/http’)->getHttpAcceptCharset($clean = true);
Mage::helper(‘core/http’)->getHttpReferer($clean = true);
Mage::helper(‘core/http’)->getRequestUri($clean = false);
Mage::helper(‘core/http’)->validateIpAddr($address);
?>
[/php]
